I agree strongly.
Rule number one: Do not confuse users. Therefore it is bad usability to
underline anything that is not a link.
Rule number two: Do not confuse developers. If developer A starts
building an app using <u> to mean anything else but "underlined text",
then developer B comes along, sees all existing markup - gets confused -
and it will take quite a while for her/him to get up to speed.
The only current element that can be used instead of <m> is <span>, like
in <span class="highlight">, <span class="ambigous"> or <span
class="searchresult">
I think that is good enough. We do not need need the <m> element.
